PageSwapcache checks already includes PageSwapBacked check so practically, it would be pointless at this moment. But yes, it would be bad on relying on the current implemenation as considering the future. As a bonus from side-effect, seeing the warning always only means it is from PageSwapbacked && !swapcache so we don't need to introduce VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE at this moment. :) I will resend it. Thanks for the review!
